Title: Video-based detection of multiple object types under varying poses
Inventor: DATTA ANKUR
IPC: G06V10/44
Filed: 2012-04-13
Abstract: Training data object images are clustered as a function of motion direction attributes and resized from respective original into same aspect ratios. Motionlet detectors are learned for each of the sets from features extracted from the resized object blobs. A deformable sliding window is applied to detect an object blob in input by varying window size, shape or aspect ratio to conform to a shape of the detected input video object blob. A motion direction of an underlying image patch of the detected input video object blob is extracted and motionlet detectors selected and applied that have similar motion directions. An object is thus detected within the detected blob and semantic attributes of an underlying image patch extracted if a motionlet detectors fires, the extracted semantic attributes available for use for searching for the detected object.

Title: Access control and code scheduling
Inventor: MERIAC MILOSCH
IPC: G06F21/53
Filed: 2014-04-28
Abstract: A data processing system operates in a plurality of modes including a first privilege mode and a second privilege mode, with the first giving rights of access that are not available in the second. Application code 4, 6 executes in the second privilege mode and generates function calls to hypervisor code 2 which executes in the first privilege mode. These function calls are to perform a secure function requiring the rights of access which are only available in the first privilege mode: hypervisor code controls execution of the secure function. Scheduling code 8, executing in the second privilege mode, i.e. unprivileged mode, controls scheduling of both the application code 4, 6 and the hypervisor code 2. Memory protection circuitry (18 in Figure 2) operating with physical addresses may serve to control access permissions required to access different regions within the memory address space using configuration data (32 in Figure 2) which is written by the hypervisor code 2. The hypervisor code 2 may temporarily grant access to different regions within the physical memory address space to the system in the second privilege mode as needed (Figure 4) to support the execution of code scheduled by the scheduling code 8.

Title: Protective mid-cover textiles
Inventor: HOWLAND CHARLES A
IPC: D03D13/00
Filed: 2014-03-12
Abstract: A new class of protective fabrics having good ballistic and fragmentary protection also provide wearable drape, softness, and moisture transport, as well as good UV and abrasion resistance and color acceptance, making them comfortable to wear as garment fabrics. The protective fabrics are constructed from yarns having at least 20% ballistic fibers with greater than 12 gpd tenacity. A combined cover factor of between 55% and 80% avoids added stiffness due to yarn distortion at the crossing points. In embodiments, a long-float weave such as twill or satin with reduced crossing point density improves the hand of the fabric, and in some embodiments provides a different character on each face so that a predominantly staple fabric face is in contact with skin of a user, thereby providing better wearing comfort than a plain weave.

Title: Pressure relief system for gas lift valves and mandrels
Inventor: Jason Michael Kamphaus
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2014-09-18
Abstract: Pressure relief systems for gas lift valves and mandrels are provided. In an implementation, a gas lift barrier mandrel includes two gas lift valves in series fluid communication. When fluid becomes confined between the two gas lift valves, an expansion volume is provided in one of the gas lift valves for pressure relief of the confined fluid, beginning at a pressure threshold value. The pressure relief may be mediated by a pressure-activated device, a piston, a spring, or a bellows to regulate the expansion of confined pressure. In an implementation, one of the gas lift valves may include a pressure relief valve to vent confined pressure from the gas lift valve to the production tubing or casing annulus. A check valve may be added in series with the pressure relief valve within the gas lift valve to prevent backflow through the pressure relief valve.

Title: Hydraulic control of downhole tools
Inventor: OLIVIER MAGEREN
IPC: E21B23/04
Filed: 2013-12-06
Abstract: A tool control mechanism is configured to activate and deactivate a drill string tool by hydraulic action of drilling fluid. The tool control mechanism is switchable between an activation mode and a deactivation mode. In the activation mode, a hydraulic activator ram is coupled to a tool switch member to drive the switch member in an activation direction in response to above-threshold drilling fluid conditions. In the deactivation mode, a deactivator ram is coupled to the tool switch member to drive the switch member in a deactivation direction opposite to the activation direction, when above-threshold drilling fluid conditions occur. The tool control mechanism is switchable between the activation mode and the deactivation mode by operator-controlled drilling fluid pressure variations.
